“PEOPLE ARE DYING,” PSAKI SAYS
Dying from what? you may ask. From "misinformation," which means only information they don't want you to access, information that might be the actual truth and conflict with the administration's fear-mongering agenda.
Psaki actually bragged in her White House press conference that the administration is "working with" social media — Facebook — to censor such misinformation.
We should all be very afraid, for they are coming for us. Indeed, they are. As Psaki inadvertently revealed, they have a list, and it is likely that all those who love this nation and fear this administration's rapid shift to Communism are on it.
DARK HEDGES
You’ve seen this spooky place called King’s Road in HBO’s The Games of Thrones – but where is it and what is it really? It’s in Country Antrim in Northern Ireland near the town of Armoy. Originally it was the driveway to a mansion built in 1775 by James Stuart, descendant of King James I of England (1566-1625), who lined either side with beech trees. Now almost 250 years old, their branches intertwine eerily, giving rise to its name of “Dark Hedges,” and legends of ghosts haunting it like the “Grey Lady.”
Northern Ireland has had its terrible Troubles as we all know, but that’s history now. It’s a place of stunning scenery and natural wonders like the Devil’s Causeway and Marble Arch Caves, and those man-made in addition to Dark Hedges, such as Dunluce Castle and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Then there’s the Victorian opulence of the Crown Liquor Saloon in Belfast. All in all, Northern Ireland is a marvelous place to visit. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #43 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
CHINA’S FEET OF CLAY
Recently China has sought to ramp up its now accustomed bullying and intimidation of the Western world, still reeling from a Chinese-born coronavirus. Yet its new global badgering is as much predicated on its potential as it is on its actual power, at least in classical terms of a global hegemon.
Indeed, it is uncanny how closely China and the US resemble the relative global status of, and relationships between, Imperial Japan and America circa 1938-40. As now, the first Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere was a thin veneer masking Japanese inherent weakness: constitutional weakness, fuel and food weakness, economic weakness, strategic and military weakness.
So here’s why Communist China has feet of clay.
KEEPING YOUR SANITY_XVII
It’s true what they say about beer – it’s so much more than just a breakfast drink!
Yes, we are going to talk about beer and sanity. Sounds like fun – and this will be, in ways you didn’t expect. We start with a type of beer that’s become a ubiquitous craze among breweries and beer enthusiasts: IPA.
That stands for “India Pale Ale.” Does that mean beer that comes from India, or once did as a historical name? Neither – for it has a magic ingredient instead.

You’re looking at something that’s absolutely astounding. It’s not a cloud or patch of fog in the night sky. Let me tell you what it is.
What it is, is astounding enough. But just why it’s absolutely so – well, let’s walk through the what of it first, then we’ll get there, for it’s a great way to keep your sanity.
LUANGWA LAGOON SUNSET
It’s hard to find a better example of the glory of nature than here – a lagoon off the Luangwa River in Africa’s Zambia. It’s also hard to believe I took this picture just a few days ago – and now I’m back home, and Africa so far away.
It was so fulfilling, so rewarding for me, over the past weeks, to provide a life-memorable experience of real Africa to eight TTPers – they’ll never forget it ever. I’ll be here again in July of next year – perhaps you’ll be with me. There’s a primordial magic in Africa that grips your soul like nowhere else. The wisdom of those most familiar with the world is: “If you can visit only two continents in your life, go to Africa – twice.” (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #145 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
FEAR IS THE MIND-KILLER
Frank Herbert – “Dune”
FLASHBACK FRIDAY: AFGHAN MUJAHADDIN?
When my son Brandon was a cadet at Virginia Military Academy, his professor teaching Modern Military History gave a lecture on the 1980s War in Afghanistan fought by Afghan Mujahaddin against the Soviet Red Army occupation of their country. One of the pictures he showed was the one above of “three typical Mujahaddin fighters.”
Brandon raised his hand. “Yes, Cadet Wheeler,” the professor called on him. “Actually, Professor,” Brandon said, “only the man in the center with the white beard is one. The man on the right is United States Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, while the man on the left is my father.”
The professor was stunned while the rest of the class stifled laughter. “Are you quite sure of that, Cadet Wheeler?” stammered the professor. “Oh, yes sir,” Brandon replied. “I recognize my own father. That photo is framed in my father’s study. It was taken in November 1988. The Afghan Commander’s name is Moli Shakur. I have known Congressman Rohrabacher all my life.”
The cadets all applauded in appreciation. To this day, this remains one of Brandon’s fondest college memories. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #145 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
HALF-FULL REPORT 07/23/21
Ereyesterday, Wednesday July 21, CNN held a townhall in Cincinnati, Ohio for a man who claims he got 80 million votes last November. CNN did everything it could to disguise the fact that the hall was mostly empty.
Jennifer Epstein, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg News, tweeted her photo above to reveal the reality – in response to CNN pretending otherwise. Much fun has been made of Dementia Zhou’s word salad gibberish and his train wreck townhall.
But this is no time for ridicule, for what characterized this event was its despotic dishonesty. So now we get serious, as we explore to what extent the Xiden Regime, along with that of many other countries such as France and Australia are committing actual real crimes, Crimes Against Humanity, for which their leaders could or should be imprisoned.
AZENHAS DO MAR
A cliff-top fishing village on the Italian Riviera? Nope, Azenhas (ah-zhane-yas) do Mar – Watermills of the Sea – is on the Portuguese Riviera. This is a magic place of fairy tale castles, thousand year-old fortresses, luxury boutique hotels, fabulous food, great wine, gorgeous beaches, and postcard-perfect scenery everywhere.
The Portuguese people are among the kindest in Europe, while Portugal is one of the safest countries in the world. Of all the planet’s First World countries, it’s hard to find one more calm and serene than here.
If you’d like a personal experience of the best of Portugal, Wheeler Expeditions can arrange it for you. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #87 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
